To all whont it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE F. KOPP, a citizen of the United States. residing at. South Egremont, in the county of Berkshire and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Pole or Shaft Supporters; and [do declare the following to be a full, clear,'and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled, in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures ofreference marked the. e m, which form a part of this specification.

The arm E is the vertical arm of the device, and is secured to the horizontal arm or bar B by a bolt, H, and nut l. with several bolt-holes, K K K, in order to render it Vertically adjustable on the main bar or arm B, to cause it to-suit vehicles of different sizes.

By this device, when used, there is no pos sible chance of breaking the circle or filthwhcel or doing any damage to the vehicle, as the wagon box and runninggear take all weight off the shafts or pole, as the case may be. removing the support, and there is really nothing about the support to get out of order.
